What supports and services do you wish existed?!

🌱 A wishlist!

📝 Here’s some on our list… 

💻 IT help for cognitive disability 

• A full IT service to update devices, software, connect everything, and teach these skills in easy steps. They could check devices are set up in the easiest way using shortcuts and accessibility settings.  

🤝 Friends facilitator  

• Not to pretend to be your friend, but to help you make friends, keep friends, and know you belong in your community. 

🗓️ Health and admin organiser 

• Someone to organise emails, set up your calendar, and remind you about appointments, bills, and other handy stuff. 

🥘 In-home food service 

• Help planning, shopping, and cooking for the week. They’ll check for old food in the fridge, label pantry and fridge items with “throw away” dates, and help keep it tidy. 

❤️ Dating support 

• One-on-one help to use dating apps and build dating skills in a safe way. 

🏡 Monthly home inspection  

• A regular check to fix things around the house like light bulbs, leaks, and gutters, especially the little things that might get missed. 

👀 In-home provider check 

• Scheduled or surprise visits to check on providers and make sure everything is safe and going well. 

💬 Friendship training for support workers:  

• Teaching support workers how to help someone build friendships, connect to their community, and feel like they belong. 

🧐 And yes, we know some of these services already exist (and that support workers could be trained to do some of these things), but they are not easy to find.
